We performed a comparison between Azure Stack and VMware Software Defined Data Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Azure Stack provides us with computational power. We also get an option to have it with Azure Cloud, which is beneficial. We don't need to buy any other extra servers or any virtual machines with high-end graphics."
"From my experience, this solution is suitable for enterprise companies."
"I appreciate that all the tools are available natively within Azure. It's all set up nicely. It's all minor."
"Azure Active Directory is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment for services such as SSH, creating a web site, and Azure billing services to measure the consumption of resources."
"Azure is less complex and easier to use than AWS."
"The setup is very straightforward and it's quite stable."
"It's not as complex compared to Amazon or AWS products. Azure Stack is easier to use within the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is integration because everything is available on a single pane of glass."
"The feature set and the maturity of the product are most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the infrastructure as a service."
"The stability of this solution is great."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is vSphere."
"It is very easy to do technology refreshments, patching, and upgrades with almost zero downtime. Its easy to bring servers online within few minutes."
"Bare Metal Ethernet SAN "dramatically improved" performance, stability, and reliability of the VMware Healthcare Solution Architecture."
"The documentation is very good."
"Certain elements are difficult to deploy."
"One aspect that I consider a drawback is the cost associated with Azure Stack, as its deployment expenses tend to be on the higher side compared to other solutions."
"It's not stable as IBM solutions. It fully supports all the .NET solutions, but our main applications are based in Java. So in those cases, we've had some minor problems with Azure, but Microsoft always says that it can handle this stuff."
"The visibility of its SDN feature needs improvement."
"It should be improved in terms of integrations. It could be integrated more with external tools."
"Azure Stack's pricing could be improved."
"There should be more focus on the user interface, specifically for the management console."
"The solution is not user friendly. I'd prefer to move over to AWS, which is much easier in this sense."
"I would recommend bundling so the end customer can utilize all the automation and orchestration features with SDC."
"It would be an improvement to have more functionality with hardware products."
"The main problem that we are facing with this solution is vSAN stability."
"The interface should be improved because when there are many alarms, it is difficult to figure out what the error is."
"It would be great to have compatibility with vendors like UCS."
"Its pricing could be better, and there could be more integration."
"The storage utilization needs to be improved. It is not a perfect product. It needs to be more secure, and it needs more aesthetics."
"My main problem is that they are changing the interfaces frequently, and each interface is incompatible with the last one. So you have to be in constant learning mode."
